NEW Parfums de Marly Perseus FIRST IMPRESSIONS - Classy & Fresh Hit For Summer

[@MortenM80]

I have tested this a couple of times now, and ended up ordering it. I wasn't convinced at first, felt it was a little sharp in the opening, but after a bit it settles down and becomes a gorgeous, uplifting and envigorating scent. Lasts hours and hours on my skin. This will be magic on the hot summer days 🌞

[@DanielAlvarado-jt4di]

Perseus is nothing crazy out of this world but at the same time it is an excellent fragrance for what it was designed to do. I plan on purchasing a bottle once available on discounters.

[@4stringz.]

3 sprays, 16+ hours skin (3 days on clothes), vetiver woody-citrus heaven. Summertime staple. This review is spot on.

[@simply_psi]

The grapefruit is that realistic with Perseus I wasn't sure if I should be taking statins whilst wearing it. I love that you keep getting little bombs of citrusy freshness in your nose throughout the day, giving you a little boost every time you smell it.

[@jaiuchiha6191]

Tested it at the pdm store in nyc it’s very natural smelling in the opening that grapefruit freshly cut, the dry down on my skin is even better I’m definitely getting a bottle not at full retail tho lol.

[@marcuscummings9426]

I just bought Perseus and I love it. It's going to be a Summer monster!

[@Bolgierd]

I just ordered a full bottle of Layton, and Perseus is one of the free samples they sent me. Looking forward to trying it.

[@Bladex750]

I dont know how people like Layton, it smells so much like medicine kind of. Everyone is different though, but what you like about it? Haltane, Oajan, and Carlisle smells amazing too, Althair too and Percival is a nice summer one with Perseus, Greenly and Sedley are nice gym scents

[@asmith7651]

Layton is just 10/10 I mean there's reason why it's most liked from them and most women I've asked and heard from just love it and say eyes roll to back of heads lol

[@wisecoonie]

@@asmith7651really… Layton is just an obnoxious expensive baby powder smell. Not even masculine LOL

[@aspect9864]

This is the ultimate summer scent form the house and is a fabulous purchase for anyone.

[@brickcity_bori4591]

This is one of my favorite pickups this year, and like you said it’s beast mode🔥🔥🔥

[@kevino73]

TdH ETF & Elysium are solid comparisons. Elysium is really a blue fragrance with a big vetiver presence in the base. Perseus is a citrus fragrance with a big vetiver presence in the base. What I appreciate about Perseus is there is a subtle underlying sweetness throughout that keeps this very mass appealing. Without that, it could come off as more mature, and perhaps not really in alignment with the PDM aesthetic. Overall I quite like it. I won't buy it at retail, but as soon as it hits discounters, I'll look to scoop it up.

[@youngceo620]

I like pdm but the price to value point is just not there for me with the exception of a few ... I'll give this one a smell but it may ne be worth 360

[@LA-st6dq]

Its kinda crazy that its costs you guys 360$, in europe e.g. germany it runs for 265 for the 125ml and 200 for the 75ml, sure € is more worth than $ but still should be under 290$ unless though how high are your taxes?

[@stealth938]

He's pretty accurate on this. I have a decant and compared it with TDH EDT and TDH Eau Givree, also compared it to the Roja, I think it's closer to Eau Givree in vibe. I do not feel the need to have it in addition to Eau Givree, they serve the same purpose. (he even says redundant, but then backs off, I say it's redundant in purpose.) It does certainly last all day. It's a very dry scent, there's little to no sweetness. I would like just a bit of creaminess in the dry down similar to CC 1872 which is super pleasant at the 6 hour mark.

[@mind-of-neo]

I'm also really happy to hear it doesn't go too sweet. Im craving that old school freshness that doesn't have that synthetic metal+sweets vibe

[@SmellsAddicted]

Is that anything like that old time religion? 😂

[@djnkg4703]

not really old school tho...pretty much new age citrusy fragrance . nothing groundbreaking nor nostalgic ,really natural tho must say

[@owencharnon20]

Love that Above & Beyond shirt Ash!!!

[@Q_N-]

I’m already in love with how AWESOME that bottle color is. Knowing that it’s also a grapefruit and vetiver power house, sealed the deal

[@infamouson3157]

I absolutely love it, I received a bunch of samples, and I am burning them up quickly

[@wilmatitzgreaux5086]

I prefer Elysium over this one. I’ve owned several bottles of Elysium, and have a couple of samples of this. I’ve compared one on one arm and found that the Elysium lasts far longer, with amazing sillage!!! This lasted about a quarter of the time. That’s my 2 cents!

[@shuffle5152000]

I wish it was an orange tinted glass like sedley or greenley

[@Finn959]

Maybe that'll be perseus exclusif

[@celh2656]

I'd still prefer Sedley for the summer, just tried one sample from Nordstrom because i bought prada l'homme today, and i wasn't convinced by perseus 🤔

[@jjamiejackson]

This is the first PDM I actually enjoy. I've tried 7 others...and disliked them all. Finally Perseus comes through!

[@wisecoonie]

Same here! Everyone is raving about the gourmand, dark or extremely woody/sweet PDM’s (Althair, Layton, Herod, Carlisle…). All serious mature bangers that mean business (except perhaps for Layton). These people always snob the fresher PDMs but Perseus to me is simply the best PDM to date! More playful, bubbly,sparkling than their overhyped superdark scents.

[@Drumtech08]

That above & beyond shirt is everything

[@michaelblake244]

I am always confused this with Althair. PDM should have made all the freshies with transparent bottles like sedley and greenly,..i.e. transparent Orange bottle.

[@Narcissist_Police]

Galloway isn’t a transparent bottle, neither is Percival. I too believe PDM should make all their freshies transparent bottles. Just makes sense to me.

[@tomguglielmo9805]

Transparent bottles don't protect juice as much as these opaque bottles. I hope they keep these bottles. They are perfect for side stacking.

[@jacksonshaw4130]

Sampled this one. Definitely getting this once it hits discounters

[@jredlamar]

I recently bought Terre d'Hermes Eau Givree, which I love! Probably gonna pass on this one.

[@WilliamMiller-nr5gb]

Sane here, for now.

[@ilvean3122]

Givree is a beautiful scent. Perseus is absolutely nasty.

[@wisecoonie]

@@ilvean3122😂

[@yanlenqt]

Might include this in my rotation with Sedley for my spring and summer rotation! Day 4 Asking Ash to Review Dior Homme Intense clones like Al Wataniah Kayaan Classic, Pendora Scents Camaro Homme Intense & Lattafa Dark Door Intense.

[@austinfortuny3850]

Got a sample of this in the mail recently. Sprayed it on my skin and it reminded me of encre noire sport. Side by side, Perseus is a bit sweeter (only by comparison, I wouldn’t say it’s a sweet fragrance at all), also leans more towards the citrus then the vetiver, at least in the opening. PDM smells higher quality too (nothing against Lalique). Haven’t smelled eau tres fraiche but I’ll take his word for it that it smells similar to that too

[@robinwhite4050]

I think this was leaned more unisex. I think the vetiver definitely gave it the grass element, but I could put a splash of vanilla with if I wanted to make it sweet. I loved this for me!

[@harrisonbromby5604]

For anyone, specifically Ash, that's smelled both this and Aventus Cologne, how do they compare? I went through a bottle of AC in a few years and loved it, got amazing feedback, I haven't had a chance to try the PDM yet so wanted to know people's thoughts on the two

[@Mourningstxr]

smelled it the other day, definitely a nice fragrance but seems crazy to spend that much on it when in comparison you can get the house’s wildest fragrances for around $200 for a full bottle at discounters. i definitely wouldn’t pay more than that for this unfortunately

[@infcombo82]

Great description as always and introduction to it👌...for me the perseus is a big let down for me...i didnt like it all...its a pass for me 😮‍💨

[@Narcissist_Police]

Not worth retail in my opinion. But I do find it to be a projection and longevity beast.

[@Aragon1193]

For some reason I got a Terra Nova vibe with a mix of enigma. I haven’t gotten many opportunities to wear Terra nova yet though so maybe I’m just crazy

[@mind-of-neo]

Immediately i love that yellow box and bottle. Happy Spring everyone!

[@artusa4996]

Tried it and loved it. Is there anything that smells like this but is cheaper?

[@fratini.]

Terre d'Hermes Eau Givree has the same vibe but costs 3 times less.

[@wisecoonie]

@@fratini.not even close.

[@lawncrew9886]

For me it smells like greenley but with more citrus

[@geoffreyvaughn]

PDM frags are great but the price point is absurd.

[@Migueiii65]

For Some Crazy Reason It Does Not Stay On my Skin Very Long….Which I Am Surprised because most Marly Fragances Last for a Long Time

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day

[@tronkitronk5418]

Try ORANGE FLAMINGO from Marc Gebauer

[@jstones9872]

its only redundant if you already have those other ones, if not , this is the one to get

[@guachito33]

dont really see the TDH resemblance.... i really liked it

[@fratini.]

In my very humble opinion, Terre d'Hermes Eau Givree got the same vibe and costs 3 times less.

[@MaDFroG88]

I’m still using Althair and it’s my most complimented winter fragrance, lots of compliments from girls age 22-28. Will definitely try Perseus once warmer months are upon us and temperatures rise.

Can't wait to try this one!!!

[@THEYDONTKNOWMESON111]

clean orange soda with grapefruit juice smells like le labo b22 bergamote with a juicy grapefruirt with elysium eau intense vetiver. so b22+elysium intense so nice 0 TdH vibes for me thankfully as I hate TdH and its flankers, eau tres fraiche smells like sweat

[@wisecoonie]

Exactly. People comparing TDH EG to Perseus are clueless.

[@wagstaff6135]

I loved TdH Eau Tres Fraiche… R.I.P. Not sure I’d want a hybrid TdH/Roja Elysium anyway, but especially at a PdM price point…. Still, curious enough to chase a sample. Nice breakdown.

[@gerardoespinosa1288]

I funnily got my nose on it and it reminds me of d&g forever but of higher quality and the grapefruit toned down

[@Reyvil777]

just got a sample of this one and i love it i think ima have to get it

[@MessisToothbrush]

I’m convinced this was made specifically for us Floridians

[@JoeAverage1469]

[@arnnggel5953]

Perseus if it was up to me. But each to its nose 😅

[@denvenom4011]

Thanks for the review Ash✊😎, as always at the top🔥🔥💯. I like the PDM bottles, this one, for example, looks like different high reliefs and statues like La Vénus de Milo. Beautiful - powerful, it will look chic in the collection!👍❤️ I haven't tried the fragrance, but I remember Terre de Hermes eau Tres Fraiche. The price is expensive, as is customary for everyone these days. Let's wait and see..

[@ericdunthorne1981]

I was hoping this would be similar to Ultra Zest. Do you have any alternatives to Ultra Zest?

[@letterkeys4440]

I tried this on in store when my allergies prevented me from smelling or tasting anything lol

[@Grinchy1230]

DO NOT BLIND BUY,For me it gets annoying after about 3 hours it just keeps pounding and pounding that same opening as D&G light blue intense, and doesn’t quit. I love citrus fragrances and I threw away my 5ml sample couldn’t handle it. He’s definitely promoting this, get a sample first.

[@MaDFroG88]

Percival is better?

A bit too sharp for office, but it's not offensive. Grey vet is probably still a better option

[@rano2613]

That was a disapointment for me. I had high hopes and I got very rounded version of Terre d'Hermes with this sweetnes in the middle that remainds me very much of sweetnes from middle notes of Roja Elisium. which made me hate Elisum experience. Just to claryfie it's not overysweet, but enought to enoye me throuth the day. Not my cap of tea.

First impressions, disappointment. But that’s cause I think they promoted it incorrectly or I put my own ideas on it that made me think something that it wasn’t. It looks fun and playful but it’s classic and refined. To me it’s clean, fresh and very masculine in the dry down and I keep smelling myself and get a clean dry feeling that I’m actually enjoying that I believe will be even better on hot days. Id say it’s gonna be one that over time people will love.
